I Should Have Known Better

And I should have known better
To lie to one as beautiful as you.
Yeah I should have known better
To take a chance on ever losing you,
But I thought you'd understand.
Can you forgive me?

I saw you walking by the other day
I know that you saw me you turned away
And I was lost.
You see I've never loved no one as much as you
I've fooled around but tell me now just who
Is hurting who?

And I should have known better
To lie to one as beautiful as you.
Yeah I should have known better
To take a chance on ever losing you,
But I thought you'd understand.
Can you forgive me?

I, I, I, I, I should have known better
I, I, I, I, I should have known better

It's true
I took our love for granted all along
And trying to explain where I went wrong
I just don't know.

I cry
But tears don't seem to help me carry on,
And now there is no chance you'll come back home,
Got too much pride

And I should have known better
To lie to one as beautiful as you.
Yeah I should have known better
To take a chance on ever losing you,
But I thought you'd understand.
Can you forgive me?

I, I, I, I, I love you
I, I, I, I, I love you

And I should have known better
To lie with one as beautiful as you
